WELCOME TO GALICIA – WELCOME TO PONTEVEDRA! 🇪🇸
This September, Galicia has the pleasure of welcoming athletes, families, supporters and visitors from around the world for the 2026 World Triathlon Championship Finals in Pontevedra, taking place from 23–27 September 2026.
To every athlete travelling to our beautiful corner of Spain: a very warm welcome!
You have trained, sacrificed and worked incredibly hard to reach this moment, and now it is time to enjoy not only the competition, but also everything our wonderful Galicia has to offer.
Pontevedra has a very special connection with triathlon. It is the hometown of five-time World Champion Javier Gómez Noya and has already welcomed some of the sport's greatest international events. This year, the city will once again become a meeting place for the worldwide triathlon family.
From Elite, U23 and Junior athletes to Para Triathlon and Age-Group competitors, these days will bring together people from many different countries, united by sport, determination and a love of triathlon.
But while you are here, we hope you also have a little time to discover our Galicia — its coastline, green landscapes, historic towns, wonderful food and, above all, the warmth of its people.
Whether you are competing, supporting someone you love, volunteering or simply coming to enjoy the atmosphere, we hope you leave Galicia with wonderful memories and perhaps the desire to come back and visit us again.
Good luck to every participant!
May you achieve the goals you have worked so hard for, make new friends and enjoy every moment of this extraordinary experience.
Welcome to Pontevedra.
Welcome to Galicia.
And welcome to everyone joining us from around the world!
